It just got a new game. Five Nights at Freddy’s, a title originally released in 2014. As expected, the graphics are black and white, and somehow, more eerie now than in color.

Doom Sees SymbOS Port
Doom was that release that made computers cool again. A release that transcended the stuffiness of computers of the time. Much like Myst did the same year (1993), just a different genre. Considering id Software opened their FPS to gamers the world over, it helped keep it in the spotlight. One area this helped was […]

Doom Sees SymbOS Port

Carl Williams Doom was that release that made computers cool again. A release that transcended the stuffiness of computers of the time. Much like Myst did the same year (1993), just a different genre. Considering id Software opened their FPS to gamers the world over, it helped keep it in the spotlight. One area this helped was ports to platforms the publisher and developers never thought of. SymbOS being one.

Dungeons & Dragons Animated Series Brawler Released
October 10th, 2021 Carl Williams Dungeons & Dragons first hit the market in 1974 via TSR, in 1983, an animated series was released. This was around the time the Basic Set Version 3 was released for those keeping track. That is almost pointless as the animated television series was not based on any rule set. At least that I can ascertain. There have been no games created on the animated series that I know of, so this is the first. Leave it to fans to do what publishers will not.

Whether a fan or not, the TMNT have permeated the social conscious of the United States, and many other countries. People know of them if not able to name each one.

Fans Translate Mario Super Picross for Super Nintendo
October 6th, 2021 Carl Williams Mario Super Picross was a puzzle game released on the Super Famicom. This title never made it to North America.

Such a shame as this style puzzle can be quite interesting. For now, let us look at the Super Nintendo, fan translated, Mario Super Picross.

While EGM would have hired an artist to fake the screen shots, this port is quite real. A team of several developers are working on making a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) port of Street Fighter 2 (SF2) by Capcom. Interestingly, this fan port may be capable of running on actual NES hardware from a real NES cartridge.

The Duality of Life and Death in Skies of Arcadia
August 23rd, 2021 Dash The Bomber Swashbucklers, airships, treasures, discoveries, and an evil empire await in Skies of Arcadia. Yet, this tale of a mysterious girl and a couple of teenage pirates (read heroes) saving the world was not unique. The abundance of games released during that era featuring a similar premise was overwhelming. So, what made Skies of Arcadia special? The subversion of expectations.
A boy, two girls, and a synthetic alien life-form. Nothing can stop them!

Doom 2600 Brings Classic First Person Shooter to Atari 2600 Console
July 24th, 2021 Carl Williams Doom 2600 does something that is technically impossible. It brings id Software’s Doom to the classic gaming console. The Atari 2600 was obviously not designed to do 3D games so seeing something like Doom 2600 is impressive. 99% of the game is lost in translation, what is here is still spiritually “Doom”. That is the point of a demake.
